That's why it's not on . . . people who haven't been here in a long

Sad.

OK... if I apologize for killing RBP, can I ask another question?

I sometimes struggle a bit to get my new Pungo 140 loaded onto my roof rack
(Thule crossbars and Yakima "Land Shark" kayak pads.) *I've been eyeballing
that Yakima Outrigger rod that slides out of the forward crossbar and allows
you to put the boat up one end at a time. *I've never seen one in use and
don't know anyone who has one. *Is it an effective and handy loading aid or
just a clever gimmick?

Thanks for any info,

I used to work at an outdoor sports shop, and I have first hand
experience at using them. They ROCK! You just pull the Outrigger out,
get one end of your boat up on it, lift the other end of your boat and
plop it up on the racks, and viola! Then put the Outrigger back in,
get the pads under your boat, tie off and you're on your way.
